Here's a great article that shows what I'm talking about

"The electoral system cannot inspire public confidence if no safeguards exist to deter or detect fraud or to confirm the identity of voters." That was the conclusion of the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, headed by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of State James Baker. The commission recommended stronger photo-identification requirements at the polls. Its logic was straightforward and convincing: Americans must show photo identification for all kinds of day-to-day activities, such as cashing checks or entering government buildings. The many photo ID requirements we encounter in our daily lives are legitimate, effective security measures. Securing the ballot box is just as important.
What the DOJ and the democrats have a problem with it they want all forms of ID to be accepted. I contend that state ID's are fine for security. |
Except there is almost no voter fraud, certainly nothing statistically significant that is being prevented by these laws. The reason republicans push these voter laws is simply to make it harder for their opposition to vote. They are passing laws for a reason that doesn't exist
